SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To protect your antenna and receiver from lightning, you should ground your equipment.
1. To ground the antenna attach a ground wire under the head of the 3/8-16 x 3 1/4 in. long hex
head screw at the mounting bracket (see Figure 2). Run the ground wire down the mast to a
ground rod driven at least 4 feet into the ground.
2. Keep the antenna and cable a safe distance from any power lines.
Antenna Mounting
1. Loosely assemble the two 3/8” diameter U-bolts into the mounting clamps.
2. Slide the U-bolts over the end of the support mast, orient the antenna to the desired azimuth
and tighten U-bolts securely.
